Oh la la, I just found out that I missed a bunch of new Erik/Charles because I wasn't a member of [livejournal.com profile] erik_charles! That's such a dreadful thought omg! Good thing I found my way over there and realised what I'd been missing out. So that's one more comm I'm following as of tonight. I think we need for someone to set up a newsletter, guys. Because the thought of anyone missing anything in the fandom just makes me ache! Wait! Is there a newsletter that I don't know about? If there is, please to be letting me know asap? So that I stop missing Important Stuff. Tia ♥

Hey, have you read that article? It's a scan of an interview with James McAvoy done for The Empire magazine. He mentions the sequel to First Class - that is, a possible sequel - and he totally put his finger on a ridiculous and very shallow fear of mine, XMFC-wise, namely the loss of Charles' hair. I'm not even kidding. People who know me know I have issues with hair, don't mind me. And I was wondering, didn't Charles lose his hair when he was much younger in the comic, anyway? Because if he did, technically, they've already veered AU here, right? So they could have him keep his hair for a long time to come yet. If it were up to me, he would keep it until the very last scene of the third film. Even better yet, in a scene after the credits!

Silliness aside and back to the interview, I found amusing James McAvoy's vision of a Charles "playing wheelchair rubgy and kicking the fuck out of people". I just love how McAvoy has been trying to make his version of Charles wilder than his older counterpart; "He's a bit of a monk. What's the opposite of a monk? Let's make him not a monk". One of the things I enjoyed so much with young!Charles was his enthusiasm and out-going'ness. I have a "laughing!character" kink a mile wide and seeing the guy laugh and smile so many times in the film just delighted me to no end. The way he radiated pride and happiness whenever one of the kids - or Erik - achieved something was just the cutest thing. It truly was beautiful to see. Besides, it's always really interesting (and heartbreaking) when someone like him loses this part of themselves, so that's something else I'd love to see in the sequel. How Charles is going to deal with everything that happened.

ETA: Lol and &hearts: How I Met Your Father, XMFC style. Tumblr is having a ball with that pairing, guys, there're so many posts over there!

Je fais exprès de me limiter à [livejournal.com profile] oldfriends, sinon je n'y arriverais jamais.

Tout ce que j'espère du 2 (et du 3), c'est que le méchant ne sera pas Magneto mais quelqu'un d'autre, et que Erik et Charles s'allieront contre lui et coucheront à nouveau ensemble.

Je dirais que tu as eu là une idée de génie. Moi c'est trop tard, je m'en sortirai jamais.

Lol On croise tous les doigts pour qu'ils continuent à coucher ensemble dans les suites ! Ce serait vraiment tragique sinon ;'-(

J'ai quand même du mal même comme ça. XDDD

Vu comment ils sont toujours mariés même dans les anciens films, je ne m'inquiète pas trop pour l'instant.

C'est beau de voir un fandom naitre... mais c'est du boulot, c'est clair ! lol

J'aime ta façon de penser, tu as bien raison ! On n'a pas trop à s'inquiéter de ce côté là.

I agree with everything you said about Charles. WHICH IS WHY I LOVE HIM! #teamyouknowwhat

I could write a whole essay on Why I Love Charles So Much. I might do it, actually, just to get it off my chest once and for all lol

AFAIK, many people attribute the loss of Charles' hair to his expanding powers. The more powerful he gets, the frailer his body becomes.

But I would love to see him deal with so many losses too. He lost his almost!sister and his best friend. He lost the use of his legs. His allies betrayed him. How would someone like him take so many hits in such a short time. I don't see him becoming bitter, but sad. Serene, but very, very sad. I think he would stop doing anything just for himself, he would lose all his personal joy, and focus everything on others. I think he kinda is the martyr type - where Erik would kill to get revenge, Charles would sacrifice himself for the higher good.

Damn, that sounds like a ratinal explanation, yes. Guess we'll see what they decide in the end. Let's just hope we get a second film, I'll "worry" about Charles' hair later lol

There was another article where James McAvoy spoke about his characterisation of Charles and he mentioned that he'd love to play him all fucked-up in the second film, seeing how he has to deal with so many losses and all. James McAvoys' fucked-up!charles would be a joy to see! He'd break my heart.

Can you imagine the fic, Charles growing frailer and frailer, the kids not knowing what to do... In their desperation, they contact the one person they think Charles might listen to, the one person who might convince Charles to stop doing this to himself - Erik. Aww... shucks.

Oh no no no they're not allowed to take away his hair yet! McAvoy has gorgeous hair I want to touch, I don't want him to lose it! If they do it, that denial is going to be trickier than my usual ones... And I agree, I really love what McAvoy did with the character.

OMFG, hair is so important in sex, Erik will be heartbroken too.

Erik : "Oh my god Charles, without you hair you can't blow me anymore!"

"Don't be sad my friend, we will find another way..."

EXACTLY! Imagine how devastated Erik would be if he couldn't grip Charles' hair when he's sucking him off. Damn. Such a tragedy!

It's been ages since I've been so enthusiastic in fandom as you are! I miss it, but now can enjoy it a bit through you, sorry for the abuse ;)

From: [identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com
Lol Well it does feel like a long time since I was so enthusiastic about a new fandom too! And it usually takes you by surprise so you never know, when things will have settled down a bit for you, you might find yourself immersed in a new fandom as well?

I have to say that I kind of miss fandom. I am still in touch with quite a few people from my very first fandom but they are scattered all over the place and I kind of miss that feeling of being in a small group and always finding something to squee over :)

But yeah, who knows, it might happen again :)

I have a solution! Watch XMFC, fall for young!Charles and Erik and then join us all! We'll welcome you with open arms :-)

Date: 2011-06-23 09:35 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] cygny.livejournal.com
Yes, that is a good idea!

I browsed IMDB a bit yesterday afternoon and found out that young!Erik was my favourite character both in Inglourious Basterds and 300! Graaawr! I watched some trailers and clips and now can't wait until next week. I hope nothing comes up to make us stay at home. And too bad that none of the female friends I have here are interested in that kind of movie :( Poor little me :(

From: [identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com
That's Michael Fassbnder, yes. I haven't seen his films apart from XMFC but I'm sure I'll remedy that :-) I did catch up with all of James McAvoy's filmography, though, that couldn't wait!

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you as well!

And too bad that none of the female friends I have here are interested in that kind of movie

Too bad, indeed! I'd rather not imagine not having girlfriends to go see the film with!

I'd recommend 300 as your first pic then, lots of scarcely dressed men and Stelios (MF's character) is sooooo yummy!

I have to get all of my fandom fix online (or whenever I can meet up with one of my online friends, which obviously is way too little)! It's a good thing I have a boyfriend who is at least interested in the same kind of movies, although he doesn't understand the whole slash thing though :P He must think I'm crazy quite often.

Hey, did you go to Connotations already? I've been wanting to go for years now but still haven't gotten around to it. Guess it won't be for this year again :(

Date: 2011-06-23 12:26 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com
I don't even remember why I never got around to watch 300, especially as David Wenham, whom I love, plays in it! Just one of those things, I guess. But I'll definitely watch it one day.

although he doesn't understand the whole slash thing though :

Guess nobody's perfect lol I'm just lucky my girlfriend is a geek and a fangirl and a slasher.

I've been to Connotations once and I absolutely had a blast! I'd love to go again but there's always something preventing me from going. Especially work, actually.

David Wenham is a very sensible character, he's one of the only survivors so you won't be too devestated :)

Lucky you indeed. But he tolerates my strangeness so I don't mind :)

I thought you had gone once, I thought I read about that then. Some other friends who every year. And for me, it's mostly family issues. Tom wants to come along and let me do my thing and spend his days taking pictures of nature and stuff. I'd love to meet you there someday :)

I couldn't get enough of it! It was in everything Charles did. Like when Hank outruns him? Just before he caught up with him, Charles is running and looking at Hank and just looks so happy that Hank is finally letting go. I can't get enough of that little moment.

Then again, I'll admit I can't get enough of Charles, period lol

You were shocked, I know. I should have warned you before I mentioned my hair issue like that! :-p

It's a good thing because I have the feeling I have a couple more under my belt lol Especially as Cookie and I plan on going to see it again (#6 for me #7 for her - I don't get how they didn't get more money worldwide, what with me and the Untitled Posse going so many times lol) on Friday night!
